WeChat launched a Linux version and launched the official website linux.weixin.qq.com.

The Linux version of WeChat, which has been highly anticipated by programmers, is finally here!

Recently, WeChat launched a download page for the Linux client. The website provides three versions of WeChat client installation packages: x86, Arm, and LoongArch.

The installation packages for x86 and Arm versions include three formats: deb, rpm, and AppImage, while Loongson only has the deb format available.

Since then, WeChat Windows version, Mac version and Linux version have their own official websites.

I believe everyone has recently seen that the WeChat team has launched the WeChat 4.0 beta version for the three major PC platforms (Windows, Linux and Mac).

Judging from the version number, 4.0 is definitely a major update. In addition to UI optimizations - such as the newly added "dark mode", more importantly, the new version has been completely rebuilt based on Qt.

By analyzing the installation directory files of WeChat 4.0, the developers found that the Qt library was in the Weixin.dll file in the installation directory.

In addition, the "About" information in the client also confirms that WeChat 4.0 is developed based on Qt.

However, careful developers discovered after research that although the main interface of the Linux version of WeChat is written in Qt, the Web rendering part is a completely independent program - implemented based on GTK.

So the technology stack of the Linux version of WeChat is Qt + GTK (Linux) to be precise .

Many developers who have experienced WeChat 4.0 have praised the new version rebuilt with Qt.

At this point, QQ, which is developed using Electron, is bound to be criticized.

Finally, feel the silky smooth experience of Linux version of WeChat:
